New School for New Media at DePaul U.
Today DePaul University has a School of Computer Science, Telecommunications and Information Systems. Tomorrow it will be gone, replaced by the College of Computing and Digital Media.
David Miller, dean of the old school, will be the dean of the new college. So what’s new, besides the name? The university announced that the college will be split into two parts. One, the School of Computing, will focus on traditional IT subjects, while the other, the School of Cinema and Interactive Media, will feature courses in digital cinema, computer games development, and interactive media.
“The new structure provides a platform for the digital arts majors, which have seen phenomenal growth,” said Mr. Miller in a statement, “while complementing our existing, outstanding computing program.”
For instance, the university notes that its digital cinema program, which began four years ago, is now the largest undergraduate major at the college, and has increased nearly 30 percent since last year.—Josh Fischman
